The MX series of slide projector controllers offers
total slide projector control combined with freedom
of movement for convenient, professional audiovisual
presentations. From simple forward and reverse of
one projector to multi-function control of two pro-
jectors, the MX series includes nine models that are
compatible with most standard projectors and a wide
variety of applications. All systems feature a hand-
held transmitter that modulates radio frequency
(RF) signals that are omni-directional. The control
range is 75 feet and is effective through walls, glass,
or screens.
Each MX transmitter is housed in a durable, hand-
held case with easy-to-use, ergonomically placed
pushbuttons. The MX transmitters (except the MX12)
are available with an optional laser pointer for use
in presentations. MXreceivers are enclosed in a
compact, unobtrusive case. Installation is simple.
Control cables simply plug into the remote control
jack on the projector. User-definable codes allow
multiple systems to be used in the same area.
Contact your local AMX dealer for a complete
brochure on the AMX line of remote control sys-
tems for audiovisual and environmental equipment.

To operate the MX series transmitters:
1. To ensure maximum operating range, place the MX
receiver on a non-metallic surface, away from the
projector.
2. For the MX unit to operate, the controlled projector
must have its power switch in an ON position. Select
LOW or HIGH lamp (see switch D on the installation
diagram of your MX receiver).
3. With the MX transmitter, move away from the projec-
tor and press a pushbutton on the transmitter to test
the MX receiver.

MX2(L), MX4(L) Receivers
Installation (MX2, MX4 receivers)
Figure 5 shows an illustration of the installation of MX2
and MX4 receivers. To install MX2 and MX4 receivers:
1. Plug the 5-pin receiver cord (A) into the remote
receptacle on the projector (B).
2. When a Kodak®slide projector is used, the MX receiver
will draw power from the projector. In other cases —
such as another brand of projector or when dissolve
control is used — a power supply must be connected
(13.5 VAC, 520 MA).
3. If it is determined the power supply is needed, you will
need to obtain an MX-PS 13.5 VAC power supply. Plug
the power cord into any standard wall outlet (120 V)
and connect the power mini-plug to the receiver
power receptacle (C).
4. Extend the black antenna wire vertically.
5. Set the lamp switch on the projector (D) to either the
HIGH or LOW position.

Laser Pointer (Optional)
MX transmitters (except the MX12) are available with
an optional laser pointer to use in presentations. MX
transmitters equipped with the laser pointer are the
MX2L, MX3L, MX4L, and MX4AL.
The laser source is located at the front of the trans-
mitter, as shown in Figure 9. The laser is activated by
pushing the trigger on the bottom of the casing.
Please read the laser device warning decal shown in
Figure 10, on the bottom of MX transmitters equipped
with the laser pointer.
